- FayObserver.com has an interview with AJ Lee about Sunday's event in Fayetteville at this link. During the interview, AJ discussed how much of a Diva she is in real life.

"Diva is a funny word because the connotation isn't the greatest," Lee said. "For me, it means being smart, sexy and powerful. It's my goal to redefine the word. I'm in the WWE, but right now I'm at home on my couch watching Arrested Development. I work out and hang out with my dog and play video games. I'm not the diva archetype; I'm 115 pounds with no curves. I'm the 'homely diva,' but I'm proud to be so different and to be a face of the WWE."
